12:34 pm
advisory manager group l.c. andrew aaron's andrew thank you so much for joining me on this. thank you very much for having me today ok so andrew the u.s. environmental protection agency states that the average way this is the average weight of a car in 20 is about 4000 pounds of that size we're talking about and small little piece which is causing automobile bill manufacturers to stop production here in the u.s. so what exactly is causing all of the trouble these small little loom simone conductor chips that we just don't have enough of right now that is causing a major major problem here this is why i want to move beetles to the dealers in the u.s. well and that's i think you know we knew there was going to be a supply chain issues so why did it make out a matter of a bill manufacturers do anything to prevent this i mean to tell you other technological industries are still growing and they have 2 thirds say little chips . right i know but you know we had such a major you know it's
12:35 pm
a supply and demand type of thing with regards to the crew on a virus and people staying at home and the demand for tronics and everything like that so basically that caused a major supply demand issue and with regards to you want to go into streets been up ended because of that we just don't have enough chips to do you know supply the cars with different parts of the car that you may not like with regards to entertainment systems we just don't have that ship spin that driver system systems cruise control things like that so that's why right now there's a major issue going on and boarding g.m. can't complete some of their cars and they're going to have to make some changes after next year and i got to be i think i honestly did not even realize this was going on it's actually been happening for several weeks now my actual that. i talk to my dad it was like i can't get a car hope you're not planning on looking for one lately and then i start looking
12:36 pm
around and notice the loudest airship had some very few cars some scarth parking lots and for them so but some are and some are not i think that's a big key here what car brands are actually being affected by this and who is not. well there are all newly being affected is the top of the line you know vehicles you know for instance like. your c.d.'s and b.m.w. are having meet your problems because a lot of their cars meet come with seats that move like 18 to 24 different ways and they're just not being able to produce them because they don't have the chips so you know that's one of the problem right now is that they can't get the chip supply to get some of the future so a lot of the cars are going to come in a little bit more stripped down and that's what i think we're going to see you know in the beginning at the end of this year they're getting an extra. hopefully the
12:37 pm
supply you know will come back in the next 6 to 9 months which that does not make us that they're buying the high end cars they like all the bells and whistles you know or thing rasul you know with all that's got everything going on gas right now the joke is that the electric a hybrid car owners are just driving by and smiling and watching and waiting are we still at this hour electric and hybrid car say the tesla being affected by this absence. well you know all the car manufacturers are being affected to some clearly but really it really is the high end manufacturers that are the ones that are having the most problems here trying to get out you can see already turning the big problem with the sort of once. you know it it's got some you know premium equipment on the on the vehicle and then just you know having problems getting it out you know we talk about if you've ever like running the engine of your hood it's like i do absolutely need a computer degree to try to even change my oil at this age it's become very technical and i think this is probably one of those drawbacks as compared to maybe
12:38 pm
3040 years where anybody could just you know actually go in there and just follow the steps and you can get a car working again i'm a little bit wondering if this is having any effect actually on the market itself you know i've tried to look at foresight truck a car stocks is this actually having a real hard effect on an industry that's had a real tough year yet i mean see also been flat for a long time right now and right now the demand is very high right now coming out of the pandemic people want to spend a lot of money on cars the seeds of some money and they're ready to spend but you know the supply is just not really dear and i just live think it's going to happen a step however i think you know manufacturers are going to be able to demand higher prices because of the issue of not being able to you know get the goods vehicles to dealers and that's a problem higher prices you know right now you might have money but that doesn't mean in 5 years for most people pay off their car they still have that same cash in
12:39 pm
the pocket any thank you so much for joining i think your thought and thought in this i imagine more people are going to start looking at it as the weeks go by go by and they realize they don't have any vehicle options right now same thing with rental cars can't find a real car right now i was told so lots of obviously very different demands that people don't realize thanks for joining us thanks for having me today. when we return the olympic games have already faced many challenges post pandemic but now also some justice movements be the most crippling effect of them all. to. new york is really what america is about. when our mayor took office she was elected because of his campaign on our city
12:40 pm
being a tale of 2 cities and i have not and those who have not are usually the ones who wind up being very hard out of the city has always wanted to forget about iowa city has wanted to forget about the people who are buried there want to forget about the fact that there is a potter's field but there is a place where difficult stories are just the fact that we're using inmates to maintain this act as the site where 1000000 souls are buried where so much of new york city history is fareed is to commence of the inequality that existed in the city for centuries.
12:41 pm
no one has ever cruised around the globe in an inflatable classroom around before. you know. but. it's such a cruise you need to slowly crew people you can share folks so with so to speak. you do it with this he was the one.
12:42 pm
who was not the most people these are limitless if you're asking that you are just like them you know mike we've got to get the through with richard petty but really when you need for real security that we've got the money for you don't you know he's really going to join us we've got. the international olympic committee has voted and decided they're not going to allow a black lives matter to be involved in this year's olympic games $500.00 athletes were surveyed the last year and 70 percent agree pushing personal political views from one country while participating in the olympics was inappropriate so did the i.o.c. make the right decision now i want to be fair there's been forms of protests in the past for various social movements and the i.o.c. has come out early outlining what is and what is not allowed at this year's games so help us 1st discussion we bring in new journeys chief of staff
12:43 pm
a place went to thank you so much for joining me a.j. . thank you for having me i'm glad to be here ok so let's 1st start off and kind of tell our audience what exactly was black lives matter wanting to be able to do in this year's olympic games. so they want to be able to make a political stance. about racial inequality systemic racism here in america and probably where different shoes different things on their jerseys are similar to what we see in the n.b.a. and places like that where you see black lives matter even on an n.b.a. court. they want to make a political ok and i understand that here in america we're all americans obviously we all for most so they are familiar with the issue but i do have some concern about putting that on a world stage when you have many many countries each of them having their own issues or trying to deal with do they feel like why did the i.o.c. say you know what we're going to go want to do this now we're going to preempt it and we're going to just say here's the rules what you can and can't do were they
12:44 pm
afraid that this was going to actually become the story of the olympics it's why you know what whenever you take a strong stance in today's culture the story the fact that you believe that you have a right to draw boundaries people get upset about that people don't like to be told what's right from wrong they don't want to hear that their political statement isn't important in terms of the olympics but that's the i.o.c. job is to draw their boundary they are expecting players to come in to be fashionable and to represent their country not their movement and not themselves so how has a black eye was not a responded here in america to these new rules have they put out anything or had any public response. well i think they're from people on the left making comments about how you know it's taking away speech rights and things like that but i think that should totally be ignored if you understand the point of the elin thinks this
12:45 pm
is america versus the rest of the world this is a time for us to unify around or this is not political this is supposed to be competitive and as the end of the day we want to listen to be fun and i'm glad the i.o.c. took a strong stance was interesting because let's move it back here to home because it seems i have to can take a stand to keep politics out of sports domestically here in america our own outside organizations can't seem to avoid it why is that and is that a good thing for the at the sports business selves. well there is that unfortunate downturn has happened in sports where even sportscasters are constantly throwing around little hole statements you had people calling on george or calling it you know slave laws when they passed laws tightening their election in sports has become political but the reason why i think a lot of people want to be social justice warriors
12:46 pm
a lot of people want to you know quite frankly they want to get attention for themselves they're building their own brand and it's a peer pressure thing if you want needle at the game the other players will call you out it's unfortunate the way that our culture has gone sports is supposed to be about unity it's supposed to be about team or you're supposed to be being a good example to young people and you're supposed to be being professional this is your job this is not the place for you to be making political statements and protesting now the india allows it and that's their prerogative but i agree with the i.o.c. the olympics is not the place for that keep that at home well and that's i think it has happened before you know over 50 years ago there were 2 olympians tommie smith and john carlos actually lost their medals because they raised a fist during the u.s. national anthem at the 1968 olympics in mexico city they were protesting the same thing racial injustice so these bans are actually nothing new you know i have to
12:47 pm
ask why did the backlash matter think that they would be the exception when this president this rule had already been been set up for decades. right well keep in mind i can't wear and i love jesus you know as much as i am i think that's important i can speak out against you know the slave labor that's going on in china like none of these things is the point of the a land and they've been clear about that for a long time i think that's why they've been able to be so strong about this when you have a clear standard that applies to everyone no one should expect to be above that now even black clouds matter although here in the u.s. it's become kind of a righteous notice if you're a social justice anti-racist warrior and you walk around with a black glass matter hat as if that is doing anything to help black people which black clouds matter is not so the olympics is not the place for indeed political stance it is supporting movements that are getting billions of dollars and doing
12:48 pm
nothing for black people and we need to keep sports as sports force is not the you know it's not protesting on the street it's not even really honestly what has it really done to improve things for everyday black people so let's just let's just simple fi this and i wish we could do something like this in the united states well it will be interesting to see if there are so other ways obviously for people to have a through expression and i'm sure everybody always finds a way whether it's on their own social media or in their own private lives a.j. thank you for joining us today thank you for having me. well republicans have gone and done it and actually they did something that is extremely rare politics they have voted to oust one of their own representative live cheney over her past comments and lack of support for the former president trying to his agenda from her leadership position guess what she is not going to go out silently. the nation needs a strong republican party the nation needs
12:49 pm
a party that that is based upon fundamental principles of conservatism and i am committed and dedicated to ensuring that that's how this party goes forward and i plan to lead the fight to do that i will do everything i can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the oval office we have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language we have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the constitution and i think it's very important that we make sure whomever we elect is somebody who will be faithful to the constitution and now the vote for her only took 16 minutes so obviously house members had already made up their mind when they walked into that room but people are asking the question did liz take this stand on principle and like she said wanting to protect the constitution or is she trying to make a name for herself for the 2024 presidential election amongst
12:50 pm
a certain group of the g.o.p. and the biggest question is any of this good for the republican party what about the 360 view of this family feud we bring in our panel and do you talking to a guy who is a former georgia state representative and conservative commentator and a strategist rory reilly thank you ladies for joining me on this one thank you happens ok so i want to start with you worry because guess what we're talking about your house today and i have to say is this really a smart move for republicans at this time considering they're only sixty's away from reclaiming the majority should you be alienating anybody that claims to have some sort of tie to the republican party at this point. well i think that you're right that they really shouldn't be looking to alienate anybody and as far as whether it's a smart move i think that from their perspective it's a smart move in the short term i don't however think it's a sure smart move in the long term because as we've seen trump is a very polarizing figure whether you agree with him or not i think you can agree
12:51 pm
that he's polarizing and they've said that cheney is a distraction but i would argue continuing to talk about child who is no longer in office is arguably more of a distraction than anything that was cheney was saying but dee as a democrat looking at this is there any doubt that republicans still have donald trump is the leader of this party i mean there's no other may name that has been able to come out of focus in the past even just few months trump is still this is still trump's party so is taking a listen out of office does that actually help or hurt republicans when they're trying to form an i did he post trump or is this just saying guess what he's still going to stick with us. well you know i hate to get in family squabbles they really don't concern me but i will say this it is great for the democratic party that the republican party is imploding because this is very much donald trump's heart and this journey was very correct history's going to judge the republicans on this
12:52 pm
moment in time and so baby get it all together are just going to say you know what we can all about you jim ross without you it's because to me liz cheney is the only one along that 100 other than some of the they may former new google had to be good since right now you know it's interesting you said that day because honestly chuck schumer came out and actually said this is horrible why would you do this to one as a republican looking at this goes why would we go along with chuck schumer why would we go along obviously democrats are saying we love list cheney if you love her take her that way that she's more part of your party what the democrats be perceptive if the if the republicans came out and said you need to get right you need to keep you know get rid of nancy pelosi what the democrats did it not honestly kind of back up why republicans were angry at liz or in her biggest cheering squad or the democrats. no not to me you know let's listen for receive georgie you said grand rapids burr who was the secretary of state who was trying to
12:53 pm
do a legitimate election and then you had the governor said you know what i really don't see voter fraud it's as well as the house and. all republicans doing right is not germane to the political party is at the core of who you are and so the republicans are group there of democrats i disagree with but at the end of the day they all have to be in. this chinese hassam because everyone knows from inside their right. and united states capitol. but as you watch today as a republican look at everything that's going on right now in the country rory i mean gas prices with the turmoil in the middle east this would been a great day right now for the republicans to take focus on all the things and put the blame on the biden mess ration instead we're talking about what just happened the republicans once again that i'm a sabotaged this new cycle to make sure they're still the ones that are being put
12:54 pm
in the put in the spotlight that being said republicans they're putting her under credibility they put margaret green underneath the category but they're not actually holding the people who possibly could have done illegal actions within their own party neither democrats why is it that they're going after oddly enough females within the republican party for words that they said not necessarily the males and i'm going to suspect you do you as well why are we going after the men who have possibly committed criminal actions they still have their titles and their leadership positions within both parties why is it is it is it just a simple just because words are more powerful than actions. well why i agree generally that actions speak louder than words i think that you get to an important point here which is that unfortunately sexism runs deep and we're seeing that play out right now with these examples that you just mentioned with was cheney and marjorie taylor green as well as some of the men that you mentioned as well that are being investigated for more serious crimes i think we clearly see
12:55 pm
a double standard and as you know that's a double standard that exists with both parties as well as outside the political spectrum i think as a society we have a lot of work to do before we really are treating men and women as equals and it's disappointing to see that it's consistently women being singled out for clearly illegal behavior whereas men are continuously given a pass for doing more egregious actions when they hold a position of power in politics andy i imagine you kind of believe in that kind of agree with that so let me ask you why are the democrats when we look at some of the things that happened in your number furring. representative that was actually having a relationship which we now with the chinese spy all of these things are going what are the democrats doing to hold their house accountable or is it a perfectly clean house. well 1st i have to have problems even in my own personal house but what i can say is the democratic party has been the big team i mean we are always going to be gentle with sexism and racism and classism into
12:56 pm
a whole group will keep will probably die and go to the other side and hopefully we will be able to educate this next generation of young people to eradicate all of the isms exists here in america let me be very clear women even democratic women when we run for office and when we serve we always get criticized for my hair our clothes beings where are we going to eat who we are in a relationship where what and so at some point all the women around the world to rise up at some point because i honestly believe that the world would be a better place if women ran the entire well he might be that a devil and that means i'm a tough they were real quick to you on this one. because of everything going on today to think how do you think the american people are viewing this as you talk to your neighbors right now or the people there on the street obviously there's a lot of things going on that is actually affecting every household and yet this is what they're focused on this is what they're spending hours upon this is not why
12:57 pm
people don't like d.c. and why they don't like politicians right now. well i think you're right that it's why they don't like d.c. as your point of what are people on the street saying i think that really depends on where you live we've heard people on both sides of this take really strong opinions but i think for the average person to your point this really takes away from things that are more important the gas shortage for example the economy things that really impact people who is in the conference leadership has much less of an impact on people's daily lives than some of these other issues and to your point i think that today was wholly time to given everything else that's going on in the world well unfortunately that's just how d.c. usually works de roy great conversation that we had i agree could actually go on better if more women were in office and guess what that's it for me now i want to follow me on twitter at scotty and he used to have to i commend him for the show and more down on the part of the t.v. app on your android or apple device thank you for watching how they tell you again
12:58 pm
our goal here is to bring you the news that you can use in order for you to form your own view will feel later. that is you won't win the world with the chairs. or you don't got the idea that you were pushing for such a cue to interweave. that are saying no is make a car so that one can be. pleasurable fish not to be able to build them want to ship out of these the bits and pieces because if this were a small bullet was this a let's listen. this is should. go well for.
12:59 pm
the store to get to get your. yes of much of what you mean yes. mamma as they should but they see it between you to be. serious and your should just consider raising off what you imagine this is just. one else chose seemed wrong. but all roles just don't call. me lol but yet to shape out just to become educated and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
1:00 pm
to. stop the madness and felt is the plea from me is really president tells chaos reigns on the streets cars are being torched on one or a drive risk drug from this vehicle and beaten up or trains he attempted to roll a group of dollars all through. the streets our old was tempting and the people are just good inspecting the damages that have been inflicted by these really war planes the strikes say injures must have aerial bombardment with hundreds of targets hit according to israel while palestinian militant group shower is really cities with missiles. and toll so coming up in the program the funerals.
